I know. I tweeted them about it, got this reply from DC_Thomson
@Digifiend84 @BeanoComic Apologies for the delay in responding. We'll look into that. Should be updated to 3561.
That was three hours ago. I sent the tweet last night.

Interesting one that. One of two things could have occurred. You'll probably not see any change until Monday, tho.

It's done now, a week late mind! Hopefully more people will join the site now because it's been advertised in the comic. There aren't many people on it (except for people who post, 'The Beano Is Best' and then never post again!)

Seems to be mostly the "old guard" so far, yeah. Those of us who posted on the old site. That'll soon change I'm sure.

I looked at this website a while ago and they still haven't updated the list of characters from the early-2011 roster. Before the last revamp to the site, the format was changed pretty much once a year. This current, well out of date version has been the same for over 3 years.

Yeah, they need to redesign the site structure so that articles aren't sorted by character - the majority don't actually relate to a specific character and so get lumped under Dennis. Even Retro section is out of date, thanks to characters making comebacks.

And they did! There's a new News tab on the front page, though it just links back to the homepage right now. I'm sure that'll be fixed soon. The site also now has an updated logo and a new blue colour scheme.
